Survival Arena

"What the hell is that?"

Daddy's Silhouette exclaimed in shock; the three-tailed monster looked like no easy foe.

Chu Ge, Gu Tianjiao, Arno, Chi Lian, and Xiao Poor Thing were also frightened.

However, Big Hair wasn't afraid at all, and took the lead charging forward, with others immediately following suit.

Big Hair's physical strength was not much weaker than Chu Ge's, but when he collided with the three-tailed monster, he couldn't knock it down.

Chu Ge followed suit, pouncing forward; only with the combined effort of the brothers were they able to barely bring the three-tailed monster down.

Arno, Gu Tianjiao, and Chi Lian circled to other sides, fiercely tearing into the three-tailed monster.

This creature was incredibly strong, but fortunately, it wasn't as tough as the two-headed monster they had encountered before.

Chu Ge bit its neck and mustered all his strength to hold it down.

With concerted efforts from Big Hair, the three-tailed monster was rendered immobile.

It struggled for about two minutes.

Eventually, the three-tailed monster died.

This time, Chu Ge again didn't score any Survival Points, but he wasn't bothered about it.

"Are all the monsters on the Mysterious Islands this strong?"

Arno said with a grimace, feeling like his teeth were about to break.

Gu Tianjiao smiled, "At least we won again."

She licked her paw, which had a tear on the back of her right paw, blood oozing from it.

Chu Ge was also injured, located on his abdomen, but luckily it was not deep.

In the wild, if one were ripped open, it would undoubtedly be a certain death.

"What should we do with this corpse?" Xiao Poor Thing asked.

The three-tailed monster was torn apart, and once the bloody scent spread, it would definitely not be a good thing for the Suicide Group.

Chu Ge pondered, "We can't manage that, let's leave it as is. We need to decide whether to enter the lake or leave quickly if we're not going in."

Staying here was like being trapped in a jar.

Chi Lian spoke up, "I'll go down. I'm the smallest and swim the fastest."

Chu Ge didn't object and nodded slightly.

At this point, it was a good thing that Chi Lian could stand up and take the initiative.

Everyone arrived at the lake's edge, and without hesitation, Chi Lian plunged into the water.

Like a guard dog, Big Hair faced away from Chu Ge and the others, closely watching the dark depths to prevent another monster attack.

Under the watchful eyes of Chu Ge and the others, Chi Lian disappeared into the lake's cavern.

"Hopefully it doesn't connect to the ocean," Arno muttered.

The Mosasaur had left a huge psychological shadow on him, just the thought of it made his scalp go numb.

Chu Ge and the others were praying as well.

But they all knew there was a good chance it led to the seabed since this was an oceanic area.

Time ticked away.

A full ten minutes passed.

Everyone was anxious, but they remained calm.

If Chi Lian had died, they would have received a notification.

This was actually quite relieving. In real life, one would have to worry about whether a companion had died, which would make everything even more negative.

After another dozen seconds.

Chi Lian finally came back.

She was unharmed and swiftly surfaced.

"There's an underground space down there, perfect for hiding. The ferocious creatures in the water can't easily get up there, and there are no other paths leading in," Chi Lian said joyfully.

At her words, everyone couldn't help but feel elated.

"Any dangers along the way?" Gu Tianjiao asked.

Chi Lian nodded, "Yes, so we need to be careful. The journey is about five hundred meters, we'll have to hold our breath and also avoid some big fish."

Big fish?

Daddy's Silhouette inquired, "How big?"

"Up to four meters long."

Four meters...

That length was neither long nor particularly short.

Chu Ge said, "Let's go down, don't delay."

Chi Lian nodded, "The big fish I encountered on my way back weren't too large. We just need to be quick."

Everyone took deep breaths and then dived into the lake.

After entering the water, the group lined up in a straight line and followed Chi Lian forward.

Passing through the lake cave, Chu Ge's vision opened up to a vast body of water.

Looking around in all directions, he could not see the end.

The lake water was quite clear, but even with its clarity, visibility was limited to within fifty meters, which showed how vast this area was.

Chu Ge saw all kinds of fish, big and small, giving him the feeling that he had arrived in the Pacific Ocean, with a dazzling array of colors and diversity.

Chi Lian swam very fast, and the others dared not take it lightly, closely following her.

Chu Ge was in third place. He looked back and saw everyone was not far from each other.

Naturally, Daddy's Silhouette was at the very back.

They were all extraordinary people, who had always trained to hold their breath, so their lung capacity was astonishing.

After swimming for about two hundred meters, Chu Ge saw a fish as big as a Great White Shark slowly approaching.

Chu Ge's eyelids twitched, and he immediately signaled everyone with his eyes.

The others panicked when they saw it.

Chi Lian immediately sped up, and the others increased their speed as well.

Seeing them accelerate, the big fish also sped up.

It was hunting!

Fortunately, as the big fish approached, other fish dared not come any closer.

To protect the team, Chu Ge had no choice but to veer off.

He immediately activated his inner heat source, igniting Raging Flame Separation. The surrounding water was scalded, forming rolling bubbles, and the big fish immediately stopped, not daring to approach easily.

The others swam rapidly forward.

The rest of the journey was uneventful.

Chi Lian was the first to land, with the others quickly following.

Chu Ge was the last to get up.

Once ashore, he deactivated Raging Flame Separation, and a wave of severe dizziness hit him, causing him to collapse to the ground.

Daddy's Silhouette quickly dragged him away, distancing him from the water.

...

Chu Ge had no idea how much time had passed.

Slowly, he came to.

His head felt like it would split open, as if he had stayed up for three days and nights, spinning in place for five hundred rounds, the discomfort was extreme.

He opened his eyes and saw the faces of Gu Tianjiao and others, similar to Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong being surrounded and watched as they woke up.

Chu Ge was not startled; in a weak voice, he asked, "How's the situation?"

His distress stemmed from using his Survival Talent too many times.

"We are safe now," Gu Tianjiao said.

Struggling to his feet, Chu Ge found they were inside a cave, with a mountain wall behind them with no openings.

On the other side was the lake, more than thirty meters away from him.

From this perspective, the place did indeed seem safe.

Even a Mosasaur couldn't possibly leap over thirty meters onto land to hunt prey.

"You've been unconscious for quite a while; there should be about three hours left until the Survival Competition ends," Gu Tianjiao said.

Chu Ge shook his head, trying hard to stay conscious.

It was very uncomfortable.

Chu Ge felt it was because the Soul-Confusing Roar had taken too much out of him.

In the past, just using Raging Flame Separation was never this distressing.

Of course, it was more likely that the combined burden of the two Survival Talents was to blame.

Chu Ge looked over his teammates; everyone was still there, including Big Hair.

He couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

If it ended like this, the team would be considered victorious.

"Did Local Snake kick the bucket?" Chu Ge asked.

Arno grimaced, "Not yet, the guy's got unbelievable luck."

Since this fellow was still alive, why didn't Local Snake respond when he looked for him earlier?

Chu Ge laughed.

Going forward, Local Snake might actually have a chance to rise to prominence.

Up to this point, no one knew how many Survival Points he had accumulated.

Every time they asked him, the scoundrel would flash a sleazy smile.
